Again, I'm biased, but ufw supports IPv6. It's also been on the default server
and desktop install of Ubuntu for 9+ years. ufw functions well for bastion
hosts, less so for routers (though it has some facility there). Perhaps the
perceived 'lack of momentum' has to do with a lack of feature development, but
for the primary bastion host case, I haven't deemed this necessary.
